Dikira daripada Quranic Arabic Corpus: sesuatu perkataan diketahui sepenuhnya apabila setiap bahagiannya sudah diajarkan. Bilangan ini menunjukkan perkataan yang telah anda temui, bukan sejauh mana anda memahaminya.

Most words of Arabic are built on a root: usually three letters, which stay in their order while vowels and other letters are put around them. Stage 1 named a word's root in passing. This stage is about the root and what is built on it. The corpus gives the root of most words, and this lesson teaches you to read it.

One of them, aḥyā, carries the religion in the Qur’ān's use of it: the course gives no meaning of its own for it, and you read it in the verses, with the edition's meaning beside them.

A root and its pattern

The root k-t-b gives kataba, "wrote". The same letters with i after the first and a long ā after the second give kitāb, from lesson 10. The letters are the root, and what is put around them is the pattern.

كَتَبَتْ
Bahagian-bahagiannya
  1. كَتَبَتْwrote
Al-Quran 2:79

Katabat is kataba with -at, from lesson 6, for a feminine doer: the root k-t-b with a after each letter, then the ending. The corpus gives it the root k-t-b.

Kalimat yang ditulis untuk latihan
كَتَبَ الْوَلَدُ كِتَابًا

The boy wrote a book.

This sentence was written for practice. It has kataba with no ending, and kitāban, and both have the root k-t-b. Here kitāb is an everyday book; in the Qur’ān its meaning is read from the verse.

A family of words

Words of one root often have to do with each other, and one verb can stand behind several nouns. The root m-w-t is the root of three of this lesson's words.

يَمُوتُ
Bahagian-bahagiannya
  1. يَمُوتُdied
Al-Quran 87:13

Yamūtu is the present of māta, "died": ya- and the root, with its middle letter as a long ū, as in yaqūlu in lesson 17.

ٱلْمَوْتَ
Bahagian-bahagiannya
  1. ٱلْthe
  2. مَوْتَdeath
Al-Quran 67:2

Al-mawta is al- and mawt, "death", in the accusative. Here the middle letter of the root is said as w.

وَأَمْوَٰتًا
Bahagian-bahagiannya
  1. وَand
  2. أَمْوَٰتًاdead
Al-Quran 77:26

Wa-amwātan is wa and amwāt, a broken plural: the corpus gives it the lemma mayyit, "dead", and marks it masculine plural.

Forms of one root

A root can make more than one verb, as lesson 18 showed. Kharaja, "went out", is of the first form, and akhraja, "brought out", from lesson 18, is of form IV. Both have the root kh-r-j.

يَخْرُجُ
Bahagian-bahagiannya
  1. يَخْرُجُwent out
Al-Quran 86:7

Yakhruju is the present of kharaja.

The root ḥ-y-y is the root of aḥyā, of form IV, and of ḥayāh, "life".

وَأَحْيَا
Bahagian-bahagiannya
  1. وَand
  2. أَحْيَا
Al-Quran 53:44

Wa-aḥyā is wa and aḥyā: the corpus marks it form IV, with the root ḥ-y-y.

لِحَيَاتِى
Bahagian-bahagiannya
  1. لِfor, to, belonging to; so that (before a verb); surely (in some sentences)
  2. حَيَاتِlife
  3. ىme, my; I (as the doer of a verb)
Al-Quran 89:24

Li-ḥayātī is li, then ḥayāh, then ī, "my". Before a pronoun the -ah of a feminine noun is said -at.

A root is a help and not a meaning

Knowing a root helps you to see that two words are of one family. It does not tell you what a word means: a word's meaning is what its use shows, and the table gives it where the course may. A word of the Qur’ān is read with the edition's meaning beside it.

يَحْمِلُ
Bahagian-bahagiannya
  1. يَحْمِلُcarried
Al-Quran 62:5

Yaḥmilu is the present of ḥamala, with the root ḥ-m-l. The root shows that the two are one verb; "carried" comes from the table.
